Use of Shadows for Experience

         

 Since I'm trying to create a film which presents shadows in a positive manner, part of my research has been focused on how to use shadows to create an experience,.

Doing so, I came across this artist Jiyeon Song who as his master thesis project used shadows to create an interactive Pavilion which a pedestrian can have a exclusively individual experience with. Although Song's product is very different from the one I am trying to create, his process of discovery and exploration with shadows is similar to mine. His one day pavilion "offers not only individual experiences through a time-based narrative but also provides delightful moments when words are revealed using only natural light and shadow".  

Song's Project: 






The concept of shadows revealing something otherwise unknown to the individual really attracted me to Song's work due to the power it conjoins to the significance of shadows.

Hmm... shadows revealing something otherwise unperceived... what a lovely idea (for a film?) .
